The present investigation approaches the nursing care process from the patient with leukemia perspective. The author departs from the feeling of uneasiness emerged in her quotidian either as a nurse practioner and nursing professor and seeks to apprehend the sense of care within the everyday existence of the leukemic patient as a world-inserted human being. Also, the author presents reflexions on the path to be followed and finds an appropriate method to disclose the subjects veiled discourse based either in the phenomenological qualitative methodology and Heideggerian Hermeneutics; thus, the mode by which nursing care is perceived by the leukemic patient may be seen as a non-authentic from of being-with, have the nursing care delivered in a distinctive way, care given with patience and understanding, and receive that same type of care as an authentic form of being-with. By uncovering the sense emerged through those speeches, the investigator is likely to re-learn the care required to be provided in accordance with the studied subjects speech.
